Real yields are returns above RPI inflation. The coupon (including its inflation uplift) is taxed as income; the inflation uplift on the principal is free of CGT. Figures don't include your Personal Savings Allowance. How we calculate this.
TRTQ is the UK index-linked gilt "0¾% Index-linked Treasury Gilt 2034", maturing 22 March 2034. Both its coupon and its principal are uplifted by RPI inflation, so the quoted real yield of 1.420% is the return you earn on top of inflation. At its 8 Jun 2026 price of £94.95 (clean, before inflation adjustment) that is roughly a 4.92% nominal-equivalent yield if RPI averages 3.5%. The inflation uplift on the principal is free of capital gains tax; the (inflation-uplifted) coupon is taxable as income. Whether this beats a conventional gilt of the same maturity depends on whether RPI runs above the break-even inflation rate over its life. Note: UK index-linked gilts have no deflation floor — sustained deflation can reduce the redemption value below par.
